The Minister of Transport, Gloria Hutt, and the president of the National Confederation of Truck Owners (CNDC), Juan Araya, were reported this morning by the crisis generated in Neuquén, Argentina, where more than 100 Chilean trucks are prevented from returning to Chile.
On this dialogue, the holder of the Confederation appreciated the interest and concern of the Secretary of State. Work is being made to achieve a solution that allows truckers, stranded by road cuts by intense social protests, to leave the Villa Angostura sector, where they have been stranded for 5 days.
Yesterday Thursday, the CNDC requested the Government, in particular the Chancellery, to seek by all possible means a solution. Fixed carriers in Neuquén risk the expiration of their PCR tests (necessary to cross trans-Andean territory), and are in difficult food and hygiene conditions.
“The picture is very complex and that’s what we’re dealing with With Minister Hutt. Our drivers need to arrive in Chile, and while there may be very goodwill from both governments, the road cuts are due to social protests from Argentine health personnel. That complicates everything,” Juan Araya said.
